Implementation and Evaluation of a Novel Media Education Curriculum for Pediatric Residents.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Despite increasing awareness of media exposure to children and adolescents and the known value of media education for physicians, residency programs lack formal media education.

Methods

We designed an interactive curriculum for pediatric residents to teach health effects of media as well as screening and counseling strategies. Instructional methods were based on constructivism, experiential learning, and situated learning theories. Participants independently reflected on a media viewing, then participated in two facilitator-led 1-hour workshops of two to three residents. Facilitators received speaker notes based on American Academy of Pediatrics media guidelines. Changes in knowledge, reported skills, and attitudes were assessed by pre- and posttests.
